Man stabbed at Escondido party

ESCONDIDO  A 21-year-old Vista man was stabbed Saturday night in what may be a gang-related incident.

The victim told police that he had been at a party at a home on Erica Street near East Washington Avenue around 11:30 p.m. when someone walked up to him and asked where he was from, Escondido police said.

That person then took out a knife and stabbed the man more than once in the torso, police said. He was taken to the hospital by friends where he was treated for non life-threatening wounds.

Police were called to the house to break up the party after someone complained about noise, police said. They were later notified about the stab victim, police said.

The victim was unable to identify his attacker and no description was released.
